West Ham United are already being linked with a host of players the club might sign this summer.

West Ham fans aren’t happy with the way the club is being run by co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold and vice-chairman Karren Brady and celebrity Hammer Kriss Akabusi is no different.

They were full of promises to fans ahead of their move to the former Olympic Stadium but two forgettable seasons later they are in uproar and protesting for change.

Terrible recruitment is at the crux of problems which have left fans disgruntled over what they feel are broken promises when it comes to West Ham‘s dealings in the transfer market and their big move to Stratford.

Recruitment has been so poor that Sullivan has pledged to rip up West Ham’s transfer process in a root and branch restructure this summer.

After embarrassing and much-publicised failures in the transfer market and the rise of ‘Twitter in the knows’ it seems West Ham’s transfer business is everyone’s business.

Failed attempts to land big foreign stars such as Carlos Bacca, Michy Batshuayi, Alexandre Lacazette and William Carvalho in recent transfer windows were embarrassing.

Pundits such as Jamie Carragher have often criticised the Hammers for persistently being in the news and gossip columns over transfers, as previously reported by HITC.com.

And despite not being officially safe from the threat of relegation yet, the Hammers are already being linked with a host of players such as Stoke duo Xherdan Shaqiri and Eric Maxim Chopou-Moting.

Now celebrity Hammer and former British athlete Akabusi has hit out at the way the club goes about its business and called for change in a post on Twitter.

“We must stop this madness, does anyone really think that anyone in football cares who West Ham are interested in signing?” Akabusi said.

“We are linked with everyone and sign no-one of significance each window.

“Just leave this endless public drivel and let the business be done in private. Come on your Irons.”
